Ski Lebanon

Lebanon may not spring to mind as a ski destination but the country's six ski resorts are becoming increasingly popular for overseas visitors, mainly British tourists, as well as the Lebanese themselves. All ski resorts are easily accessible as a day trip from Beirut and you can also book a fully inclusive stay in chalets, budget hotels or 5 star hotels in the ski resorts, namely Mzaar resort, previously known as Faraya Mazaar. The season lasts from December to early April.

Besides its white mountains, Lebanon has a lot to offer since its terrain stretches over a variety of landscapes like valleys, coast lines, plains, not to mention its strategic geographical location which made it a cross-road for civilizations. So you can enjoy the Mediterranean beaches, go hiking in the mountains, visit vineyards and do wine tasting, and see the souks and old ruins like crusader castles throughout the country.
